Thanks @Gatsby

Question for the forum members. I have a bit oily scalp such that I have to shampoo atleast every alternate day if not every day. I started facing this issue after loosing my hair . I am at 4 day post surgery and it’s already very oily. Have atleast 3 more days to go before I wash my head . Does the excess oiliness on scalp can cause any issue to transplanted hair ? I searched a bit and could see there are few threads on this question however there was no answer to it. Will appreciate any response to it.

Thanks . That helps to feel little happy about it . 😃 I wish could get the look of 30s .. lol 😃

oh, I was there as well. it would have been nice to catch up with you @Jeswin Jose .

Yes I have started finasteride since a month now (after my first consultation with Eugenix) . Taking 1 mg alternate day . Faced some side effects and then changed the dosage to .5mg alternate day, and observed less sides. But doctor Arika said that’s too low when we discussed about it during my procedure. Thinking to change it to .5mg every day . Sorry missed to mention it in the details. Will see if the side effects minimises after few months. Happy to stop it the day I see a better alternative 😃.

Actually I missed to asked about that . However If I understood correctly from the note on the board during my procedure it seems around 114 and 118. Seems bit less 😃

3 day post procedure. forehead was little swollen . The only issue or problem I faced was having difficulties to sleep due to pain in the donor area.

Hello everyone, first of all thanks again to this forum which helped me to finalise the doctor/clinic ( @Eugenix Hair Sciences) for my HT (had almost decided to do it somewhere else before coming to this forum, but I think I got saved) . Also thanks to @Gatsby @MazAB @Yaasar - The Alpha for their inputs and @Melvin- Moderator for all his work on this forum. Now it’s my turn to pay it forward. I hope that this post is informative and helpful to some. Background: Age : 37 NW Grade: 4/5 Started facing hair fall since my 20s . Had tried 100s of different, oil, shampoos and treatment. Had also tried Fin+ Min combo around 8 years back for a year but stopped due to side effects. I lead healthy lifestyle. Workout 6~7 days a week and eat healthy and high protein diet. (Some time I do feel my intense workout and creatine might have trigged the hair loss more) I used to cover the balding are using fibers very well for many years however it started to get easily noticeable since last 4 years . Hence I started to think about doing HT 3~4 years back, but was anxious and nervous about it . I always wanted to speak to someone who had done HT from the same doctor, to be assured that it is safe and there will be positive result. ( didn't want to take any chance even if it meant paying a little higher than normal.) I Spent 3 years googling about best doctors however was still unsure, until I came across this forum accidentally four months back, while I was searching for reviews of a doctor. Initial Planning: Based on the online assessment I was proposed around 4500+ grafts Frontal scalp: 3000 Mid scalp: Not Required Crown: 1700 Thus, total graft requirement is 4700 Proposed Harvest from Scalp : 4000 Proposed Harvest from Beard : 700 Procedure (16 and 17th March 2022: Will try to keep it sort and simple as most of the process and good things about @Eugenix Hair Science is already covered by many on this forum ( still would love to repeat the most import thing is that, the treatment and hospitality I received was excellent . felt very homely and was taken care very well by all the staff) . I went with a custom package as both Dr.Pradeep Sethi and Arika Bansal were beyond my budget to get the complete involvement, still I was fortunate to get Dr. Arika to do the planning and design) . I was also lucky to meet Dr. Sethi for a 5 minutes casual talk Design and Planning: On the day of Procedure, the initial planning and design was done by Dr. Arika. Due to my receding hairline on my donor area, and to preserve some for future (if in case required) I was advised to limit the extraction from scalp to 3000. Also due to lack of density in my beard there was not much scope. Due to this we had to go bit conservative on my hairline. (I wish it could have been little lower ) Slits : Slits were made by Dr. Priyadarshini Das ( Which I had requested for ) . She is amazing and very caring. Extraction and Implantations: My procedure was split into two days and there were many technicians involved for Extraction and Implantations. Am able to recollect some of the names, whom I spoke the most and were very friendly ( Girdhari, Ashish, Jaganath, Bapun, Amarendra Rakhya …) . They kept me calm and busy with discussions throughout the process. Also thanks to Kimi, I felt less to no pain whenever she was giving the Anaesthesia . I call her the Anaesthesia Specialist. Also would like to thank Amandeep and Satyam for coordinating the entire process. Final graft Count 3630 . Scalp grafts: 2660 beard grafts: 870 Pre and post op pictures below

It was nice meeting you @Bandit90 yesterday at the hotel . Nice write up and the overall procedure and experience looks excellent. Very excited for my procedure today (bit nervous as well 😃) I will be closely following this thread to see your progress 😊 .

thanks @Gatsby . even I do heavy workout, and rely on protein supplement to complete the protein requirement as I am not that of meat eater. so my main intension of taking protein is to complete my protein need (as per my macro breakdown) , and creatine for that boost during workout session and extra pump. I will stop taking creatine if it is going to affect the HT (hence was looking for answer) . do you also reckon stoping protein (just weigh protein) powder ! also since our last discussion I have started taking fin 1 mg alternate day. I hope that will keep 5ari in check to compensate the test boost by resistance training.

Also would like to know if it is safe to take pre-workout supplements containing L-arginine and citruline after 2-3 weeks for HT . As they tend to increase the blood flow will it hinder the healing process ?

Hi Melvin, Just curious if you managed to get a response from dr. Charles .

simply wow! what a write up and experience. so much positivity . you are already looking excellent mate. I am so looking forward to my surgery now. probably will be second from Australia after you .

Good luck @Gatsby . So happy for you . I can certainly relate the 3 year waiting part, as I am on a similar boat . Hope .. if everything goes well, I will be also flying on 1st Feb to India 🤞

congrats @Melvin- Moderator . HT looks awesome and nice writeup. this forum has helped me to decide my HT getting done at @Eugenix Hair Science (also the very valuable inputs from @Gatsby and @MazAB ) , and looking at your writeup and other success story at @Eugenix Hair Sciences I am more confident now (though I did not had the budget for premium packages and have settled in for Exclusive package. Hope HT quality will be of similar) . I have booked in for first week of march . Hope there will be no travel restriction by then and I will get it done 🤞 .
